Message: [QUOTE="tkaes, post: 4071698, member: 7514"] Pick your poison, different strokes for different folks and all those other cliches. In football, do you let the clock run down to about 3 seconds and attempt the game-winning field goal on 4th down or do you kick it on third down with 10-12 seconds on the clock in case the snap is mishandled giving yourself another shot on 4th down? I understand not wanting to give the opponent a chance for another possession, but if you miss the shot you have no chance to win if time expires while the ball is in the air, but I'd rather give us a second chance and then play a tenacious full-court press if the shot goes in. If the opponent can beat the press in just a couple of seconds more power to them. After all, you were already losing. Now, if the game is tied, my strategy is totally different. In that case I definitely want time to expire while my shot is in the air. [/QUOTE]
